2nd person dies from hit-and-run
A second person has died as a result of a hit-and-run early Sunday, and the Highway Patrol is asking for help finding a suspect.
Heather Hernandez, 25, of Summerville died Tuesday night at Trident Regional Medical Center from head injuries suffered in the crash, said Berkeley County Deputy Coroner George Oliver.
Hernandez was a passenger in a 1990 Honda that collided with a 1997 Ford pickup about 2:30 a.m. Sunday on College Park Road. The driver of the Honda, Alfredo Resendiz, 30, died Sunday.
The driver of the pickup fled the scene on foot, Lance Cpl. Bob Beres said.
Beres said the man has been identified as Alberto Jimenez Vasquez.
Vasquez is 24 years old. He's about 5 feet tall and weighs about 100 pounds. He also goes by the names "Roberto" and "Alligator," Beres said.
Anyone with information can call the Highway Patrol at 953-6010.
